Bowie & Jensen LLC is thrilled to announce that eight of the firm’s attorneys have been selected as 2016 Maryland Super Lawyers.

Super Lawyers is a rating service that annually recognizes attorneys across the country who have exceled in their legal practice and achieved a high-degree of peer recognition. Attorneys undergo a thorough, patented selection process in order to be considered for this title.

The process begins by collecting a diverse list of attorneys nominated by their peers. Then, the nominations are validated with third-party research, and finally, a panel of highly credentialed attorneys evaluate the findings. Only five percent of attorneys are selected to the Super Lawyers list.

The following attorneys have been selected as 2016 Maryland Super Lawyers in their specified area of practice. Each of the attorneys listed below are multi-year recipients of the Maryland Super Lawyers honor.

Matthew Hjortsberg and Michael Siri were also named to the Top 100 Maryland Super Lawyers list for 2016. In recognition through the Top Super Lawyers list, Mr. Hjortsberg and Mr. Siri were highlighted among an elite group of 100 attorneys in Maryland to receive the highest point totals in the nomination, research and blue ribbon review process. Mr. Hjortsberg and Mr. Siri are both former recipients of this distinguished honor.

Additionally, Carolyn E. Mech (Employment & Labor) was selected as a 2016 Maryland Rising Star. This year’s selection marks Ms. Mech’s third year in a row as being a Maryland Rising Star. To be eligible for this acknowledgement, candidates must be 40 years old or younger or practicing for 10 years or less. No more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in each state are named to the Rising Stars list.
